The Witching Hours · £27 · digital download
See 6pm coming from 3pm
For the split second before you, your family, your team or your clients react.
That split second has a name: the Handover™. The 10 buttons let you name it, so you notice it earlier and come back faster.
The Remote Control System™ teaches you and each member of your family how to take back your remote control into your hand to become the Keeper of the Remote Control (KRC).
The Witching Hours: 7am to drop-off and 6pm to bedtime.

It’s 5:40pm. Coats on the floor, dinner not started, homework out and 3 people asking you 3 different questions at once.
By then you have made more decisions than you can count, and the next one is “what’s for dinner?”
That’s the load.
Load is the weight you carry when the moment arrives.
Sometimes by 7pm we can muddle through it. Often not so well.
That’s the Volume Button, 1 of the 6 buttons that press on you. It presses hardest at 7am and 6pm.
It comes at the same time most days, and most parents continue to struggle with it most days.
What does it include
The Witching Hours · £27 · digital download
The pre-load
1 shift, made at 6:30am and at 3pm, before the hours start. The most useful pages in it, because they’re the only ones that act before the moment.
Why your Battery Charge drops
Why it drops at exactly those hours, and the 3 causes underneath it, each with its own shift.
5 transitions
1 shift each: the stairs, the bathroom, the kitchen, the shoes and coats, the door.
The 90-Second Pause & Decide tools
Free, with no email and no account, and positioned here for these hours specifically rather than as a general tool.
Broken sleep
1 page on why broken sleep is not the same as short sleep, which every parent has felt and rarely hears named.
The 3-Day Watch
3 days. 1 line a day. Which window, which cause and the clock time the hours turned, so you know which shift to make.
5 printable A6 cards
1 per transition. Fridge, not folder.
PDF and 5 printable A6 cards. Delivered to you electronically in minutes.
What changes
- ·You see the hours coming from 6:30am and 3pm, instead of meeting them at 5:40pm.
- ·You know why your Battery Charge drops at exactly those hours, and the shift for each cause.
- ·You have 1 shift for each of the 5 transitions, on the fridge.
- ·You act before the hour, rather than inside it.
- ·Your family has a shared name for it, so “that’s Volume” lands as information rather than blame.
“Within 6 weeks, my 12 year old was saying, ‘I think my Volume Button is going up on its own Mum. I think I need to Pause.’ It’s now how our whole family talks about pressure. I’ve even introduced it to my students.”

Who developed it
Developed by Reham Nasr, Developer of the Remote Control System™, working where pressure meets behaviour since 1998.
“I’ve been researching one question: why do capable, values-driven people act against their own judgement under pressure? I was doing it and so were my clients.”
Reham Nasr
Naming is free. Learning is the book. It teaches the RCS™ framework sequence and the 10 buttons. Practising is the workbook. Catching the Moment is the app. That’s the Remote Control System™ in action.
What the Remote Control System™ will and will not do
Nothing honest can promise you will stop reacting. Here’s what it can promise.
What it will not do
- ✗ Not pressure-proof
- ✗ Not pattern-free
- ✗ Not perfect
What it will do
- ✓ Pressure-aware
- ✓ Pattern-aware
- ✓ Practised
You will notice the Moment earlier, sometimes as it happens rather than that evening.
You will interrupt it more often than you do now.
You will miss some. When you do, you will have a way back instead of an apology you make up on the spot.
This is not therapy. It’s not a diagnosis. It’s about everyday pressures during an ordinary week. If what’s underneath is bigger than that, this is the wrong platform for you, and support is here.
14-day money back guarantee
Get it and use it. If it’s not for you, email [email protected] within 14 days of buying and your £27 comes back to you. No form to fill in, no reason to give. Anything you saved or printed is yours either way.
Your next one starts at 6pm tonight. Get the kit now and tomorrow’s 6:30am pre-load is ready before the school run.

Your questions, answered
Why are 7am and 6pm so hard with children?
By 5:40pm you have made more decisions than you can count, and your Battery Charge drops at exactly the hours the transitions arrive: the stairs, the bathroom, the kitchen, the shoes and coats, the door. It comes at the same time most days, which means you can see it coming.
What is the pre-load?
The pre-load is 1 shift, made at 6:30am and at 3pm, before the hours start. Those are the most useful pages in The Witching Hours, because they’re the only ones that act before the moment rather than inside it. The shift itself is in the kit.
What is in The Witching Hours?
A PDF with the 6:30am and 3pm pre-load, why your Battery Charge drops, 5 transitions with 1 shift each, the 90-Second Pause & Decide tools positioned for these hours, 1 page on broken sleep, and 5 printable A6 cards for the fridge. It costs £27 and is delivered to you electronically in minutes.
Will it get rid of the witching hours?
No. It will not remove the transitions, and the hours will still arrive at the same time most days. What it offers is that you see the hours coming from 6:30am and 3pm, and act before them rather than inside them, with 1 shift for each of the 5 transitions.
